I have a Intel NUC that I need to disable the wireless adapter. I can not disable it via the BIOS. Is there a way to disable it via a remote SSH session and if so what are the commands.
Advanced > Devices > Onboard Devices .in bios. If you don’t have this, you should flash your bios.
but to disable wireless, you find the number it is in the wireless list like:
rfkill list
that will list the wireless devices connected like this output:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
in this example, to disable the wireless (number 0 ):
rfkill block 0
But you can always remove it from the network by not assigning the interface a color in zone configuration too. I would do both because you would have to execute rfkill every time it rebooted.
